The
Southern Rocky Mountains are a major subregion of the
Rocky Mountains of
North America located in the southeastern portion of the
U.S. state of
Wyoming, the central and western portions of
Colorado, the northern portion of
New Mexico, and extreme eastern portions of
Utah. The Southern Rocky Mountains are also commonly known as the
Southern Rockies, and since the
highest peaks are located in the State of Colorado, they are sometimes known as the
Colorado Rockies, although many important ranges and peaks rise in the other three states. The Southern Rockies include the highest mountain ranges of the Rocky Mountains and include all 30 of the
highest major peaks of the Rockies.The Southern Rocky Mountains are generally divided from the
Western Rocky Mountains by the
Green River and the
Colorado River below the Green River. The Southern Rockies are divided from the
Central Rocky Mountains by
South Pass in Wyoming and the drainage running east from the pass down the
Sweetwater River and the
North Platte River; and the drainage running southwest from the pass down
Pacific Creek and
Sandy Creek to the Green River. This divide between the Southern Rockies and the Central Rockies provided the lowest elevation traverse of the
Rocky Mountain region for the historic
Oregon Trail, the
Mormon Trail, and the
California Trail. The southern end of the Rocky Mountains are considered to be the
Jemez Mountains and the southern
Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico. Mountains south of here in N.M. are classified as the Arizona/New Mexico Mountains using the EPA Level III Ecoregions System.This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least {{convert|100|m|ft|abbr=off|sp=us}} of
topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least {{convert|500|m|ft|abbr=off|sp=us}} of topographic prominence. An
ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least {{convert|1500|m|ft|abbr=off|sp=us}} of topographic prominence.All elevations in this article include an elevation adjustment from the
National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (
NGVD 29) to the
North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (
NAVD 88). For further information, please see this
